Upcoming Physics-based 'JellyCar' for iPhone
posted October 16th, 2008 2:09 PM CDT by Blake Patterson in Racing, Upcoming Games, iPhone games, iPod touch games
iPhone developer Walaber has given us a heads up on his upcoming iPhone game featuring soft-body physics, JellyCar.
Reminiscent of upcoming StuntBike for the iPhone (which is reminiscent of XMoto), JellyCar for the iPhone is a port of the developer's Windows and XBOX 360 original.
JellyCar is a driving/platforming game for both Windows and Xbox360. The game is about driving a squishy car through squishy worlds, trying to reach the exit. The game features soft body physics for all of the objects in the world. Also your car can transform for a limited time to aid progression through the level.
The initial iPhone release features 12 courses as well as a full 5-song soundtrack (or listen to tunes from your iPhone music library).
JellyCar has just been submitted to Apple and should soon be available as a free download through the iTunes App Store.

looks pretty good

This game and a lot of XBLA's offerings is really well suited for mobile devices rather than your 70" 120 Hz 4ms 1080p LCD TV. PSN's craptastic rub a dub will also work well on the iPhone, but what I would like to really see ported is PSN's The Last Guy.

@Dudehuge: Don't hate too hard on the PS3. Warhawk and Wipeout HD are my favorite games on any platform right now.

Neat. Original.

This does actually look pretty cool. I hope they hit the price point correctly, and if so, I'll be there on day one!

@blakespot
PSN's offerings are better than XBLA's, there I said it, suck it xbots.
NOOO!! I don't hate the PS3, I'm just saying that rub a dub is bad on the console

JellyCar will be free, according to the developer.

Wow, I'm surprised the dev decided to make it free, I was so ready to pay for it.
It looks very promising. And I'm loving the music

Just checked the app store for it, it's definitely there now. Get it while its free because I'm sure it won't be for long.
